Emby Server Status on Rainmeter Skin help

[Taurec 60]

@ Chef,

thats fine..... ok .

I am working on a skin for Rainmeter.

I put a option skn in.

At the xml file i can see that the infos for:

; <ApplicationVersion>
; <Client>
; <DeviceName>
; <UserName>
; <d3p1:SeriesName>
; <d3p1:Name>
 

are available.

Do you grab this data also?

Or only the Client and Username like the first "edition"

Now it is late, i have go sleeping

P.S: thx

[Andrommy 2]

I'm curious. Wanna show a screenshot of how rainmeter with emby looks like?

[chef 3746]

you can make it look however you wish.

 

You just have to create any style of skin in rainmeter. Which is actually kind of cool.

When you make requests to the API for sessions, you will get that information back, yes.

 

You will get all user info, what they are viewing, session IDs, etc.

 

But, keep in mind that not all devices/clients will return all information.

 

Example is Xbox one DLNA, this doesn't return user info but will return everything else.

 

In this instance you will see only that Xbox one is in session and playing something (if it is playing something).

 

You would have to make a separate call to the API to get info for the NowPlayItem (since all that is returned us the NowPlayingItemID)

 

Hope that makes sense...

@ Chef

Ok I understand

At the moment it looks like that the information sufficient to the API call.

You know when you started it, it is hard to stop it.

I started with a Rainmeter skin.

In the first alpha pre version you can see which options of data I want to display.

 

The Main skin

( i like to expand the skin height depend on User)

 

 

 

The Userinfo skin:

(the skin appears with the blue info btn at the Username)

 

 

 

The Option Skin

(selection witch data are shown at the main skin)

 

 

 

At first this has to work, Then we take a look what is possible to do

 

 

cu Taurec

P.S. hope your session grabber

[chef 3746]

That is beautiful @@Taurec! Nice job.

 

What I did today was build an emby plugin which updates session info with emby event arguments.

 

Where should I point the text file to save information for you to parse for the rainmeter skin?

 

It has to be a text file, parsing dynamic XML with regular expressions will only cause trouble.

 

If your skin can read a text file, and put each line in your skin In The proper place, I can get the emby plugin to write each session and its proper information in the order you request.

 

Also, because it is a plugin for emby, we don't have to authenticate users, which is sweet.

[Taurec 60]

@ Chef,

i thing it must be possible to insert a path for the destination folder where the plugin save the file.

(e.g.  \\ server \ share folder \ Emby \ 20160507_2222017_sessiongrabber.txt )

Fine it will be a filename with date_time_name for sorting

 

The Rainmeter can read files. at the end, it is the question how to disassemble the file.

 

Is it possible that you show the content of the file, so that i can start to prepare the skin?

 

cu Taurec

P.S. thx, for the meaning of skin, it is the first alpha version and i have to spend a lot of time.

      I have to solve some probs with the color selection and to work on the design and and and ..... 

 

 

 

@speechless

I have a similar problem with the xml file of Plex, you can help me?

it works for me but it is not well implemented.

Please let me know if you have the time to help me.

@@Taurec, yeah sure...

 

This entire eggdrop script requires regexp:

This one is an eggdrop regexp parser for websites:

These scripts require irc + eggdrop, but they should show you that I know my way around a regular expression or two. What did you need?

You need to break the regular expression up.

 

To get the filename you have to make parsing easier. You cannot get the filename out easily in a single regexp.

 

First issue this regexp: (?siU)Part.*?file="(.*?)"

After it has the entire path/to/filename then use this second regexp on the capture from the first regexp: .*/(.*?)$

Now it will get everything after the last / and capture it. This will be your filename.ext.

 

Then catch the user title the same way you already are: (?siU)<User id.*?title="(.*?)"

@ speechles

 

OK, i understand.

I understand. I will try it tomorrow. It's a bit too late for that.

Thanks for the note.

 

 

@ Chef

 

i have done a little bit at the rainmeter skin.

I hope I can fill the data correctly.

@ Chef

 

hope you feel good

 

Please let me know how far are the Plugin is.

 

@ Luke

 

there is the possibility that you inflict some values in the Status.xml.
Or some values to change?
For example, the values of the current session as an int
In one session, a value for the current status (watching downloading, etc.

 

Unfortunately, I understand structure of xml file not quite.
e.g. The node <NowPlayingItem closes when no data are included with />
when data are included with </ NowPlayingItem>
Why not always with </ NowPlayingItem> ?
